Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 159, Chapter 158, "The Truth"

158,

After a brief panic, the three young corpses, together with their carriage, were randomly dragged into a ditch by the roadside.

The blood that flowed out seeped into the dry sand, forming dark pools of blood. Before it could condense, the sound of rumbling carriages on the narration road continued.

The three young men used their deaths to prove one thing to everyone,
This so-called New Austin Temporary Independent Regiment was not what they had just thought, it just wanted to collect tolls from them with the weapons in their hands, and it was as simple as making an autumn wind.

If they refuse to cooperate, these armed men will really shoot and kill, and they will kill one car at a time.

The situation in Armadillo Town is more complicated than they imagined when they came here. It seems that they should be more careful in the future.

Wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, he removed his palm from the handle of the gun, pulled up the rein and shook it lightly, drove his carriage into the vacant space in front, and continued to wait for the inspection in front of the team.

As for the three young men,

Ah,
What does their death have to do with anyone else.

Not to mention who would dare to express dissatisfaction on the spot under the sight of five machine guns. Just because of the purpose of this trip, no one would stand up and ask for trouble.

Everyone was anxious and rushed to Armadillo Town day and night, either to dig out gold mines early and get rich overnight, or to get a chance to change their destiny here and turn salty fish over.

Uphold justice?

Uphold the rule of law?

That's the job of the police and the government, and it has nothing to do with them.The reason why they came so fast was to get a piece of the pie before others rushed to Armadillo Town, and this other people included the current US government.

The three gunshots that sounded just now were gently debunked by everyone like an insignificant incident.The three corpses on the side of the road were also like the cacti growing in the desert of New Austin. Although they existed, no one cared at all.

Even the ownerless carriage, together with the tools inside, was later bought from Li Jiayuan at a cheap price of 80 US dollars by a car owner who was also a gold digger who passed by.

The inspection work that continued was unsurprisingly smooth.

Even if the old Huck later revealed that the weapons and ammunition mainly pulled bolt rifles in his carriage, and sent someone to check that they were correct, Li Jiayuan just took a few more glances at the old man and handed over two passes, allowing let go.

"call……"

The nervous black Charlie let out a long breath.The sudden killing just happened right in front of his eyes. If old Huck hadn't held him down with quick eyes and hands, maybe he would have pulled out the shotgun that was shortened around his waist.

It can be inferred from the ferocity with which the young Chinese drew his gun to kill people when he disagreed with each other. If the weapon was really raised out of instinct, I am afraid that neither of them might be able to leave this intersection alive.

Only then did he notice that old Huck, who was also relieved, could still laugh.

"Can't you figure it out?" Seemingly aware of the surprise on Little Charlie's face, Old Huck took out the flagon in his arms and took a sip while controlling the rein with one hand:
"Remember the purpose of our trip?"

"remember."

"Then don't you think those Chinese who just blocked the road look like a person?" Old Huck laughed like a fox:
"It seems that these things in our car can finally be sold for a good price."

In the voice of Little Charlie suddenly realized, the carriage loaded with munitions went farther and farther along the road leading to Armadillo Town.

Time passed quickly, and when the sun was westward, the last caravan also passed Major Milton's inspection and left the three-way intersection where the roadblock was set up.Also at this time, the first few carriages that passed by were driven fast, and finally arrived at Armadillo Town, which they had been thinking about and looking forward to for a long time.

Then everyone was dumbfounded.

The bustling and bustling town in the imagination no longer exists, replaced by a ruined wall that has been burned by the fire.There are some simple tents around the town, and the residents of Armadillo Town guarding outside the tents are full of hostility and vigilance.

Just when the inexplicable people were confused and didn't know why, a man dressed as a sheriff came over with a few policemen:

"Welcome to Armadillo Town!"

The first sentence was quite normal, but the second sentence made everyone dumbfounded:

"Do you have food in your car? We have water here."

"Fuck!"

With Sergeant Hartman's explanation, everyone who gradually learned the "truth" began to curse secretly in their hearts.

They finally knew where they had come.

Is there a gold mine here?

Have,
But there is no food here, and even drinking water needs to be rationed.

And all of this has to start with one person, the evil and greedy Colonel Beckett Robinson, the former commander of the Closhangburg Barracks.

During the construction of the Pacific Railroad's railway in the Saguaro Springs area of ​​New Austin, Chinese laborers who dug tunnels found traces of gold mines in caves north of Armadillo Township.

After Colonel Beckett learned about it, in order to monopolize the gold mine resources, he betrayed the country and the law, and colluded with the Pacific Railway Company's escort team to arrest the Chinese laborers who knew the information in the name of searching for spies, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the news.

In order to ensure the smooth mining of the gold mine, Colonel Beckett also attempted to meddle in the jurisdiction of Armadillo Town.After being rejected, he dispatched his soldiers to provoke troubles around Armadillo Town, provoked disputes, and even sent people to ambush and attack the mayor of Armadillo Town who had returned from Blackwater Town.And after the mayor escaped by chance, he brutally killed the mayor's armed guards.

Because he was worried that the matter would be exposed, Beckett conspired with the Mexican gangsters of the Howling Wolf Gang, and directed and acted out an attack on the barracks, in order to slander the mayor of Armadillo Town, who learned the truth and escaped death.Later, the cavalry battalion of Closhangburg was sent to collude with the former sheriff of Armadillo Town to blow up Armadillo Town and burn the remaining buildings in an attempt to bury all the residents and kill people.

At a critical juncture, the mayor of Armadillo Town tried his best to turn the tide, and found an opportunity to persuade the cloth merchants in the cloth merchant camp, represented by Major Hank Milton, and some cloth merchant soldiers who still had justice and love for the country launched a mutiny and wiped out Baker. Colonel Terry's rebels, forming the New Austin Provisional Independence Regiment.

At present, the mayor who succeeded in the mutiny is seriously injured and is recuperating in Armadillo Town, while Beckett, who escaped with others, is still missing, and after escaping, most of the wells near Armadillo Town were destroyed.

As a result, the entire Cactus Spring area was temporarily managed by the temporary New Austin Independent Group, but it also fell into a situation of food shortage and difficulty in drinking water.
